Love Actually

When biking into the sunset, I realised that love is all around, just like they say in that Christmas movie, Love Actually. From I got up in the morning to I went to bed, people were showing love to me and to others. I am grateful for the people who brought vegetables and beans to the Newbreak Coffee and Cafe, and for the people who took my order and made me a delicious salad. And for the girl who made me a hot macha and greeted me a good day. She gave a little love.

And when doing sightseeing in around in the town, I saw love in form of art made by human hands. I saw peace signs and colourful vans and I even recognised a quote someone wrote by the ocean, so that I could see it when passing by with my bike. It said: “Love is the reason, love is the answer.” And it for sure is. Because when I needed some help with getting my bike over a bump, a man stopped by and asked “Do you need some help?”

Oh, yes, love is actually all around. I’m giving thanks to the women we shared a pool with who gave us advices about San Diego and the Uber driver who made us smile and laugh. I’m grateful that someone made a fire along the beach so that people could stay warm around it and so that kids could be fascinated about the flames dancing during the sunset. The last thing I saw before it got dark was a family holding hands as they walked from the ocean towards the beach with the pink sunset in the background. At the same time, my boyfriend held mine. Oh, yes, love is actually all around.
